Job Description:

Zachary Piper Solutions is seeking a Senior FPGA Engineer to support a Government Consulting partner located in Tysons Corner, VA (located in Lanham, MD until Summer 2026) through a 100% onsite work environment (hybrid flexibility). The Senior FPGA Engineer will design, test, and integrate advanced FPGA‑based processing solutions supporting radar, RF, and secure communication systems.

Job Responsibility:

  • Develop and implement FPGA designs for radar and communications DSP functions including beamforming, pulse compression, MTD/MTI, and high‑rate digital data pipelines
  • Build firmware modules for SDR and digital comms systems such as modulation, filtering, channelization, timing recovery, and error correction
  • Integrate and optimize high‑speed digital interfaces (SERDES, JESD204B/C, LVDS, Ethernet 10/40/100G, custom links)
  • Create HDL testbenches and perform simulation using Vivado, ModelSim, or QuestaSim
  • Execute timing closure, static timing analysis, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing
  • Interface FPGA logic with ADC/DAC hardware, RF/mixed‑signal components, embedded processors, and high‑speed digital boards
  • Conduct hands‑on lab testing using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers, and other RF test equipment
  • Diagnose fielded system issues, perform root‑cause analysis, and implement corrective action
  • Maintain FPGA image releases and collaborate with DevOps on build automation
  • Generate engineering documentation including ICDs, verification plans, and test reports that align with federal and customer standards

Requirements:

  • 10+ years of FPGA development experience within radar, RF, EW, or high‑performance DSP environments
  • Strong experience with VHDL/Verilog and FPGA platforms such as Xilinx/AMD Zynq, UltraScale, RFSoC or Intel/Altera devices
  • Expertise in DSP architectures, high‑speed digital interfaces, timing analysis, and verification workflows
  • Ability to produce clear, customer‑ready technical documentation
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance
  • Prior support of DoD radar, tactical communications, or EW programs
  • Experience with RFSoC, multi‑channel ADC/DAC systems, or mixed‑signal integrations
  • Familiarity with Xilinx GTX/GTY transceivers and high‑speed switching technologies
  • Knowledge of DO‑254, MIL‑STD, or related government design‑assurance standards
  • Scripting experience (Python, MATLAB, TCL) for automation or analysis
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field

Nice to have:

  • Experience with RFSoC, multi‑channel ADC/DAC systems, or mixed‑signal integrations
  • Familiarity with Xilinx GTX/GTY transceivers and high‑speed switching technologies
  • Knowledge of DO‑254, MIL‑STD, or related government design‑assurance standards
